(Re)Openings
Teppei Kaneuji’s first major exhibition got underway at the Yokohama Museum of Art. The show features over a hundred works, including sculpture and painting. It runs until May 27.

Further, the Tokyo Museum of Contemporary Art opens its doors again on March 21 after its re-furbishment. They are marking it with an event allowing visitors free access to the Museum collection. There will also be talks from artists like Naoki Ishikawa and Koki Tanaka. See TAB for more.

Closures
Back in Yokohama, the ZAIM venue, which has been a space for young and emerging artists for several years, is to close at the end of the month.

Meanwhile, in London’s trendy Hoxton Square, Yvon Lambert will shut its branch there this month. It is the first major London gallery to close. Yvon Lambert also runs galleries in New York and Paris, but its London home only opened in 2008. To read more, see here.
